Be nice then please ... I tried to finish off my card yesterday but it was absolutely shocking so I put it in the bin instead



JailhouseBabe, your card is lovely, I love the way it has 2 uses, bookmark and card

I've figured out how to use my creative cutter, and have made my first card using it


i just bought a creative cutter today toured all the aldi's for one, i think it's well worth the money but a bit hard to get use to. good job i've got loads of scrap card to practice on. did manage to do some nice oval shapes with the wavey part, i think that one will be getting used the most.


this is a card i made today with it although it's not finished yet
your card is very nice and great idea to use the perferated bit.
dont think i'll be attempting that quite yet though lol

Love your Mother's Day cards debsy, especially the top two with the flowers in vases. Good luck selling them.

Rainmac - how exciting! Go gentle on us

jailhouse- love the card and such a great idea to have the perforated bit I want to include a book mark in my mothers day card but i think i will have to use a pocket.
debsy1963 you have been busy i always find it really hard to do lots of cards for the same event but yours are all brill.

Lovely cards again you ladies are so talented.

Any ways I have seen some fresh flower companies doing flower cards for mothers day which I can not afford. So I though I would place my idea to help out you gals. I am going to buy some maltesers in the box I think you can get them like this in pound land. I was then thinking in the inside bit put some oasis and stick in dry flowers. But make sure that you decorate the box first lol.

Hth

Zls1984 that is a really good idea a stroke of creative genius lol

Do you have a Papermill shop near you? They sell A5 and A4 card by the box (you can get a box of hundreds of sheets of A5 card for about a fiver I think). To make an A6 card you just fold a piece of A5 card in half. I bought a box of card from there over 2 years ago and it's still going

You can then buy envelopes separately or make your own.
